Launching on a new challenge; JDC to venture into offshore wind business

Abstract

Japan Drilling Co., Ltd.（JDC）has been drilling in various waters around the world as an offshore drilling contractor. In recent years, the momentum for introducing renewable energy has been increasing toward the realization of a carbon-free society worldwide. Regarding the offshore wind power business, which is being introduced mainly in Europe, the development of legal systems and the construction of special vessels for installation work is progressing in Japan as well in order to expand the introduction. However, there are many issues in introducing offshore wind power, and among them, there are few companies in Japan that have knowledge about offshore operations. Therefore, JDC also wants to establish a system to provide a wide range of services in order to make offshore wind power one of its businesses.

In this lecture, we will introduce the technical services that JDC will develop in the offshore wind power business by utilizing the experience and knowledge that JDC has cultivated in offshore drilling.
